Tragedy: Saga of a Hoodlum

Tragedy Khadafi

Gritty 1993 Queensbridge boom bap. A militant blend of street-level reporting and Five Percenter philosophy over dusty, jazz-flecked loops.

The missing link between Public Enemy and Nas, recorded in the heart of the projects.

A tense, thoughtful balance of militant street aggression and soulful social reflection.
